100 percent do it yourself. I took my 356 engine out when I was 18 in a 12x24 garage. Did my first 911 2 years later. You can do it with 2 floor jacks. One for the car, one for the engine. You do need some special tools once you get into the engine though. There is so much material available now, that didn't used to be so accessible. The 911 handbook by Bruce Anderson used to be the bible, but there are other resources now. If you are mechanical, you will be fine. Just don't cut any corners.
What you learn and the pride of driving "your" engine will be worth it.
